I don't know how CFA could keep that experience up if they go public. I'm sure they are very successful financially, but they only have to answer to a few shareholders.
Did you see a few weeks ago, there was some investment firm out there that wrote a paper trashing Olive Garden becasue they said it gave out too many breadsticks? That is the kind of crap CFA would have to put up with.
FWIW Olive Garden is a subsidiary and does not itself trade publicly.

Chick-fil-A is one of the best run and organized companies in any industry.

You literally can not get into the Lafayette Chick fil A's in Lafayette anywhere near lunch. Lafayette needs another location or 2

Truett Cathy passed away on Sept 8. Be interesting to see what happens to the company, although I think his kids share the same values. May have to wait another generation before they would take the company public.

It's like that in about every location in Houston. Would love to own one.

It won't. At least while the founder or his family controls the company.

They do a great job with customer service.
People are addicted to sugar and their batter is made with powdered sugar which is why it taste so good. If you look at the lines in the drive through you will notice that it's mostly women. They think this is a healthier alternative than hamburgers.
Additionally, their franchisee's don't actually own anything. There working partners that receive a percentage of the profits but have no assets. They do a great job of hiring because they are closed on Sundays and most of their operators are involved in a church, which is where they get their employee's from.
It certainly is working and more power to them.
